WHEN MY WALLS GAVE WAY

When my walls gave way,I thought I lost my faith.When I stumbled over the law,It chipped my heart and made it raw.Belief and confession.Did I learn my lesson?I believe,God gives grace to believe.Righteousness is obedience by faith,By justification I am safe.God has chosen,A story handwoven.A bondservant by choice.Now my heart can rejoice.When my walls gaveContinue reading “WHEN MY WALLS GAVE WAY”

TRUTH SINCE YOUTH.

Renew is due,I need to trust you.To walk worthy of the calling.I need to stop stalling.Obedience to your word.Belief made sure, I’ve heard.To walk when weary,To know you hear me.To know your truth,That I’ve known since youth. r.d. jESS

THE DESERT PATH

On this desert path I walk.The vultures circle and squawk.The path is dusty and dry,No tears left for me to cry.Guide my feet to paradise.Let me forget these lies.I trust the end will come.Walking has made me numb.I pray I don’t wander,When oasis is just yonder.On this desert path I walk.Let me walk the talk.LetContinue reading “THE DESERT PATH”

BE STILL

Be still my soul.Be still as I grab hold.I seek thee, my Lord.I find thee in thy word.My heart is still.Upon thy hill, I find your will.You are not hidden,Grace has been given.Be still my soul,The Lord grabs hold.Nothing steals his grip.Even if I slip.Be still.Trust His will. R.D. Jess

YOUR WORD

Your word is refreshing.Your word is a soft blessing.Renew me day by day.Renew me I pray.Ungrudgingly you give.Generously to all who live.Prosperity, not a promise;But eternal life upon us.Your word is a solid rock I stand.When all other ground is sinking sand. R.D. Jess

RETURN

Let me return,I fear your face turned stern.I have stumbled over the stumbling block.Will you let me stand upon thy rock?Do you still restore the wayward?Will my plea be heard by the Lord?I think He does hear.He draws me near.Breaking that I may heal,Humility has made me kneel.Bind up my wounds.I will see you soon.WhenContinue reading “RETURN”

Peace Redefined

What is peace?It is knowing God to be good,When the wind blows from the east.It is hope while living in the hood.Peace is reconciliation.Whether joy or pain.You are secure with the situation.Releasing yourself from the chain.It is knowing both broken and healing,Are one and the same.Knowing tomorrows dealing,Will not put you to shame.Peace is aContinue reading “Peace Redefined”

I have a purpose

I have a purpose,He has a plan.There is more on the surface,Then just a man.Created in His image.A precious diamond refined.An honor to bear this privilege.To be a part of His design. R.d. Jess

dandelions in the wind

What absolute joy is this?To see the dandelions bliss.Where wonder runs as wild as the flowers.I could stay there for hours.Green meadows grow taller.After dark storms water.For God caused it to grow,After pain swallowed me long ago.Now I stand in fields of dandelions.After God rescued me from the lions.I blow dandelions in the wind.Joy isContinue reading “dandelions in the wind”

Good advice

Not all advice is good advice.Even if they were trying to be nice.Somethings should be considered.Sometimes it’s the way it’s delivered.Not all advice is wise.But I simply realized,Advice should not be taken without question.There’s a lesson in digestion.Do you want your life to reflect there’s?Do you want your life to have their affairs?It’s not unwiseContinue reading “Good advice”
